WSR 16-03-006 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-04—Filed January 6, 2016, 4:33 p.m., effective January 6, 2016, 4:33 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for the Nisqually River.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19000U; and amending WAC 220-310-190.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: An emergency rule is needed to correct a clerical error in filing WSR 16-02-081. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
